Has anyone actually gotten up a _server-side_ process that uses CSL to produce formatted citations? Using the citeproc-js with a certain custom compiled js interpreter, or anything else? This is what I'm interested in -- I'm not concerned with making it run in a browser, so custom compiled JS interpreter isn't a showstopper. But is still something that I'm not familiar with doing, so is going to take me a while to figure out how to set up. If anyone has already set anything up (using citeproc-js or anything else we may not know about), can you let us know, and maybe share your tips/instructions/code?
